Got my new Dryad Orion in the mail today, couldnt wait to try it out, on maybe around my 30th shot I split an arrow. It split the nock right in half all the way down about 8" on my ash shaft. That was a first for me. I think this bow is trying to tell me I better be using her this season.
She has a marblewood & Texas ebony riser with marblewood limbs and bamboo core, 58" & 53#@28".

I'd be using the arrow that split that one up front with a BH on it.  It's got some good MoJo to it.

Does the second arrow have to stay in the first arrow to be a robin hood?

Robin Hood or not.  That is some mighty fine shooting.  Sweet wood combo.  Is that grip lower than their standard grip?

I love the woods in that bow. The Marblewood really gives it character, and the Ebony is the perfect contrast. Very nice indeed! Congrats, and thanks for adding the pics for us. Good Luck this season.
